Nikon Coolpix 4600 / 5600 Review Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 5.50 (out of 10)
The Nikon Coolpix 4600 is the latest in a long line of Coolpix digital cameras whose popularity stretches back to the original Coolpix 900, Nikon's first "breakthrough" digicam. From a feature standpoint, the Nikon Coolpix 4600 is similar to previous models such as the Coolpix 5200, with all automatic controls and an extremely small form factor. The 4600's 4.0 megapixel CCD captures high-resolution images, with a 3x optical zoom lens and wide range of preset Scene modes and unique "framing assist" options. The Nikon 4600 is super compact, very light weight, and is perfectly suited for shirt pockets. And with its excellent range of user-friendly, almost fail-proof point & shoot exposure modes, the Nikon 4600 can handle just about any shooting situation you care to throw at it.

The Coolpix 4600 is one of the first Nikon digital cameras to feature the new D-Lighting technology, which intelligently lightens overly dark images, and Advanced Red-eye Reduction, which automatically detects and corrects red-eye in most situations. The Nikon Coolpix 4600 has a 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to 34-102mm on a 35mm camera, a 1.8 inch LCD screen and 16 different scene modes to help you take better pictures. This is one of the first Nikon digital cameras that I have reviewed, so did the Coolpix 4600 impress me with both its cutting-edge features and overall design? Carry on reading to find out.

The Coolpix 4600 ($200) and 5600 ($280) are Nikon's entry level point-and-shoot cameras for 2005. Both feature compact bodies, a 1.8" LCD display, in-camera redeye reduction and "D-lighting" features (more on these later), and tons of scene modes. The main difference between the two models is the resolution -- 4 Megapixels for the 4600 and 5 for the 5600 -- but there are a few other differences that I'll point out in the review.

The Nikon Coolpix 5600 is an attractive, compact, lightweight and affordable digital camera perfect for first-time digital camera users. It is strictly a Point-and-Shoot camera for those who want the camera to take care of exposure for them -- and the camera does this pretty well. Its strong points are good handling, excellent macros, and good quality 5MP images.
